LondonLax Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 We definitely need more goals in the side. Wesley is still a gamble and didn’t score many in the Belgian league. It’s probably the most important signing we need to make from here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't live in Brazil. Apparently he has flown to the UK to meet the club's liason officer to sort accommodation out. He can't play for Villa until the permit is sorted so it makes sense for him to start getting settled. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Judging by some recent posts on here, there's gonna be one or two disappointed to know that Small Heathens have agreed a fee of 750k with Willem II for Daniel Crowley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have expected him to make a big impact in the PL, but that actually strikes me as very sensible business for them if they’re trying to improve the style of football.

Demitri_C Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 We definitely need another striker. Kodjia hasn't exactly been great since the big injury. Be a huge gamble. Maupay I'd be happy with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted July 17, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2019 Can’t believe our first game is three weeks on Saturday... a couple more in the next week and I think we’re doing great. In order of necessity we need: DM RM ST GK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 yes, a forward is still needed I think, whether that's a striker or another general attacker role, we need more depth there, but I am confident that will be attended to in good time. Getting the base established is most important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, they have got a hell of a long way to go to start to do that! Crowley will now find how the other half of the city exist on scraps and anti-football. Let's hope for his sake that another team match their bid and give him an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not according to Birmingham Live who suggest he has gone "home" from the US to mull over his options, not which house he is going to rent? Man City are clearly on board, his work permit was apparently through yesterday but it sounds far from a done deal with the player. I wouldnt get too excited yet...

Or just stick with what we have, two international keepers and a playoff semi-final penalty shootout hero I'm okay with that, if in 6-12 months time they're each deemed not good enough then sure, invest big in a new keeper but I'd say it's surely been the least of our concerns this summer?

Even if they asked for £10m for Heaton, I'd rather we went with a, say, £25m Butland. Not only is Butland a better goalkeeper (IMO) but time is on his side so we'd either get long service or some money back down the line. Heaton provides neither (despite still being a decent goalkeeper). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 2 hours ago, Lord Willard said: A winger next after Douglas. Then I'll be happy. We can strengthen again at Christmas. I think we would be better to do just a little bit more in this window, rather than to wait until half way through the season to fill gaps that we are aware of now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
